One good thing about winter is that you don't have to bring ur groceries in when ur tired from training. I figure its colder out there than in my frige. Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

Just bought my last holiday, I mean Christmas present. Big breath... I would say where but someone might be reading this. Its always more rewarding shopping at locally owned places, though.Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

Went to wrestling practice last night with @Nathenmarquardt at University of Northern Colorado. This morning, Polly Hubbard gave me a great message. Now I'm on my way home. Short trip. I really just wanted to check on Rashad. He looks great! Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

This video was just sent to me from last week. It has Jodie, John, and myself in Hawaii. I was lucky to be there and see these guys tackle 50 ft waves. Insane! Oh...and Affliction's Sunny Garcia got third in the next days competition. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/uk_news/8402941.stm

About This Blog

I was born in Butte, Montana.A proud town known for its hard nosed rough sort of people. From there, I moved to a small town in Central Oregon where I spent a number of years before moving to Southern California. This is where I went to Canoga Park High School and then LA pierce Junior College.

I spent my last two years of college football at a division II school in Las Vegas New Mexico called New Mexico Highlands University. I finished playing football there and then coached for a few years when I met a guy teaching mma at the local rec. center. I was sold right away and drove to Albuquerque to meet Greg Jackson, who was already well known in the area. I then decided to move to Albuquerque to train with him. That was in 2000 and I have been here every since.

I got my big break in 2005 when, after my training partner Diego Sanchez did so well on The Ultimate Fighter season 1 where I got the opportunity to be on the second season of the show. Although I didn't win, I learned a lot from both Rich Franklin and my training partners while at the same time developing lifelong friendships. The show was great for my career, and has given me the opportunity to become a full time fighter and to progress to where I am today.

I have had 11 fights now in the UFC and I am currently regarded as one of the best fighters in the world.
